List, written out: [link to orthomolecular.org] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10242376 GREAT LINK!! Taking 1,000 mg of vitamin B-3 three times a day often cures mild to moderate depression. Dramatic results are often achieved within one week of beginning this nutritional program, especially in alcoholics. (1) Sometimes a simple deficiency of vitamin D causes depression. 3,000 I.U./day from all sources can alleviate the problem. (2) 3,000 mg/day or more of niacin (vitamin B-3), along with the same quantity of vitamin C, taken in divided doses throughout the day can successfully treat both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. (3) Vitamins B-3, B-6, C and the minerals magnesium and zinc frequently produce a good response in ADHD and autistic children. (4) Vitamins B-6, folate, and B-12 taken together lower elevated homocysteine levels in the elderly while improving mental function. (5) Hi Amy I know what it's like to have a child with behavioral problems & feel for you! I have 3 children all raised exactly the same with the same diet etc & yet my middle son from as young as 1yr old was 'different'. After starting pre school I was told he had 'autistic tendencies' at 12 he was diagnosed with Aspergers (after 12 months on Ritalin & not knowing long term side effects I took him off it. His nan rang me about a show she had watched on the dangers & effects of preservative 262 used in products such as bread to have a longer shelf life. I have since that day only ever bought bread without that preserve & 3 weeks later couldn't believe the change in him)& now he has been diagnosed with acute Schizophrenia. He has started on orthomolecular therapy (while still taking his anti psychotics) 3 days ago & I will definitely update his progress (be it good or bad) in a months time. I hope you can find something that will help your little man Same here Amy and miffed. My son was diagnosed with aspergers at age 13 but I wounldnt allow any medications. He's 19 now and after of behavioral problems he is behaving and living on his own. I am still working with him on getting his GED at least- perhaps the B3 will help. As an aside, I just started taking 50mg B3 in a formulated drink and whatever depression and anxiety I had is nearly gone. Thanks for the thread, OP. TRUTH its the new hate speech.

This is the real mental depression where niacin cannot do much besides making you feel better for a short period of time. To reach the mind level, that vibrational level, one needs vibrational medicine. And these are the homeopathic remedies, vibrational remedies. Just because one knows that homeopathy can help is not enough, one has to find a real good homeopath. While there is not much difference between MDs (with some exceptions), as they follow the standard procedures they learned in school, the difference between homeopaths could be big. Thank you for this information! I am curious whether you can suggest any good books on vibrational medicine? |

Can you elaborate to us how this works? I will answer this as best I can as it was possibly accidentally skipped over. If you have a mental health issue & involuntarily hospitalized, you will have to stay there until the medical board deem you 'mentally well'. Therefor they will trial you on one/several medications until they find the right one where they will then pronounce you 'socially normal' (even if you are a drooling zombie) you then have to promise to stay on the medication prescribed for you by the hospital board/tribunal to be 'released'. |

[link to www.townsendletter.com] AWS: If I do not press this point, a reader will: Maintained high doses of niacin may raise liver function tests, and this is used as evidence of harm. AH: Niacin is not liver toxic. Niacin therapy increases liver function tests. But this elevation means that the liver is active. It does not indicate an underlying liver pathology. Dr. Bill Parsons discussed this extremely well in his book on niacin and cholesterol (Cholesterol Control Without Diet; Lilac Press, 2000). I personally have been on 1500 to 6000 milligrams daily since 1955. The biggest danger of taking niacin is that you live longer. One of my patients is 112. She does cross-country skiing and has been on niacin for 42 years. The fear doctors have of niacin is not based on data or facts and, like any myth, is very had to eradicate. So many patients are on niacin that by chance some will also have liver damage from other conditions such as alcoholism, hepatitis and so on. Niacin does not make it any better nor worse. [link to www.livestrong.com] Lowers Cholesterol Non-flush niacin affects your blood cholesterol levels. Niacin has notable effects on improving the levels of high-density lipoprotein, known as HDL or "good" cholesterol, in your bloodstream. In fact, niacin may improve your HDL cholesterol better than prescription medications known as statins. In addition, non-flush niacin lowers your unhealthy low-density lipoprotein, known as LDL or "bad" cholesterol. Although beneficial, MayoClinic.com notes that diabetics should use caution when taking niacin, because it can raise blood sugar. |

MARsSPEED User ID: 1492929 United States 03/04/2012 11:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Found this on another forum, good info for those thinking of beginning a niacin supplement. I will be going to the store today to start my own. I am currently trying to quit smoking and am wondering what kind of positive effects niacin may have.... "Immediate-release/crystalline niacin is available as a nutritional supplement and is inexpensive and effective. The niacin in each table is released immediately and usually provokes a “hot flush,” a warm, itchy feeling of the skin. For this reason, starting at small doses, such as 250 mg, can be helpful. The dose can be increased gradually (by 250 mg every four weeks) to achieve the desired amount. Doses greater than 500 mg per day should be used only under medical supervision. Some people take their niacin in small doses, three or four times daily, to spread out the dose. This could be unsafe, and I recommend that patients never take immediate-release niacin more than twice a day. Extended-release niacin is a time-release preparation, but does not act as slowly as slow-release niacin. This makes it safer than the slow-release preparations that can cause liver side effects. Extended-release niacin also provokes fewer hot flushes than immediate-release niacin. An example is Slo-Niacin®, which is sold over the counter. Niaspan® is an extended-release niacin preparation sold as a prescription drug. By contrast, slow-release niacin preparations reduce the hot-flush effect by releasing niacin over an extended period of 12 hours or longer. Most of these preparations are unsafe and I do not recommend them. “No-flush” niacin preparations, such as inositol hexaniacinate and nicotinamide, are widely sold as niacin alternatives that do not cause hot flushes. In my experience, however, they simply do not work. In other words, no flush, no effect. The correct dose of niacin depends on what abnormality you and your doctor are trying to correct. To raise HDL and correct small LDL, a dose of 750-1000 mg a day usually provides full benefit. Increasing this dose to 1500 mg a day may provide slightly greater benefit. To reduce LDL or Lp(a), higher doses (from 1000 mg up to 4000-5000 mg per day) are often used, with higher doses providing greater effects. However, doses this high should be taken only with a physician’s supervision. Keep in mind that it may take three months or longer to realize the full lipid-optimizing benefits of niacin." |
